2012 College Football

[SnakeCharmer]

I agree with ya there.  Best football game I've ever been to.  I've never experienced so many highs and lows in such a short period of time.

If our OC called one more pass play when the RBs were averaging 10 yards a clip, I was  t h i s  close to going down on the field and beating him senseless with his headset.  The sole exception was the PA pass to Cooper where I was all DON'T YOU CALL A MOTHERFUCKING PASS PLAY YOU DUMB MOTHERFUCK ALSKDJFHALKJSDFLASDF I WILL MURDER YOU WHERE YOU SLEEP OMG TOUCHDOWN I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU AWESOME CALL and then nearly passing out.

Arizona has been acting like a bunch of goddamned idiots this entire game.  I love the fisticuffs on the sideline.   

[Paelos]

They were favored by 9 in this game too. Arizona has made several very costly errors, and their Defense is playing pattycake. If not for Nevada making some very stupid turnovers, they would be blowing them to pieces by now.

[Rasix]

It's a bad, undersized defense (Rich Rod says it's the smallest he's coached) that has gotten slower due to injuries.  There's a lot of walk-ons on the squad.  Earlier in the season we could make up for being small with being Oregon like quick.  That won't play out over a season if you have no depth. 

And, is this really happening? holy

[Rasix]

[WayAbvPar]

Holy shit.. came here to scream about Arizona gagging (I turned it off with about 1:15 to go), and then saw your post and went to ESPN.com to check. Apparently I missed a hell of a finish. Unfortunately, they still fucked me over in my bowl pool...Had Arizona -9 or something. They couldn't wake up in the 3rd quarter?

[Hoax]

Oh fuck that. I turned away when they punted deep in the fourth qtr down ten stopping nobody on defense.

[Paelos]

I agree with David Pollacks assessment of that game. The defense was just 

[ghost]

That was a fun game to watch, even with Arizona's idiocy.  I like Rich Rodriguez there.  He should do well, now that he's out of the Big Ten.  Why did he ever take that Michigan job? 

[Rasix]

I agree with David Pollacks assessment of that game. The defense was just 

Our defense has been that bad all year, we just forced more turnovers early on.  We gave up 700 yards to OSU and still blew them out in the second half.  31 points to Colorado. I don't think Colorado could put 31 up on most junior colleges.

I was afraid it was going to turn into the UCLA game.  Similar offense that ran us over and our offense never got on track. Luckily we were saved by one of worst Arizona cornerbacks in recent history, Shaquile Richardson. That guy is usually lucky if he's within 10 yards of the guy he's guarding.  Flowers sealed the deal, that guy might be our only legitimate decent defender.

Anyhow, still grinning. 

[Paelos]

I give Arizona credit for never quitting. There were several points in that game where they could have just given up.

Toledo did give up. That Utah State was close until Toledo just decided they were going to stop playing. I've rarely seen a team completely quit in the 4th quarter with the game still on the line.

I am jealous. That is a great way to start an offseason. Pretty sure mine will start with us getting blown out by Boise State.

Please please please beat the tater zoobs.

Just heard a rumor that Stanford's QB is going to be academically ineligible for the Rose Bowl. (Uncertain provenance, heard it from a friend of a friend who apparently heard it from the TA of a class he allegedly failed, was presented as 'betting advice'. On the 'possibly true' side of the scale is the fact that the guy is a current Stanford grad student, so he could actually conceivably know the TA.)

[Paelos]

Vegas hasn't picked it up yet if that's the case. The line has been holding at 6.5 and up to 7.

[Paelos]

Dear Huskies, get your fucking shit together. You are losing to a team that was beaten by SD State.

[WayAbvPar]

Fire Keith Price into the sun. Don't know what the fuck happened after last year, but he has been pure crap all season long. Can't make a decision, throws late, has no clock in his head in the pocket, take way too many hits and sacks (his line is terrible, but some of it is on him)...he is like Bizarro Russell Wilson.

[Paelos]

I still thought, despite the horrible turnovers and first half, that Washington was going to pull it out.

They did get their shit together eventually. Too bad it ended like that.

[RhyssaFireheart]

I'm so looking forward to the Orange Bowl this year.  Not enough to drive to DeKalb to watch in a local bar there, but I'm going to be rooting for NIU all the way.  I just want them to at least make Florida St. work their asses off for the win (if NIU can't win it, which would be fucking awesome!).  If nothing else, make all the asshole sports talking heads eat their words about NIU not deserving to be there. 

[ghost]

I have absolutely no interest in watching NIU.  This is one point where Colin Cowherd and I agree-  I would much, much, much rather watch a big time game with historical teams play than some two bit, got lucky once, small name team.  Give me Alabama versus Notre Dame or Oklahoma versus A and M any day of the week. 

[Paelos]

I'll actually watch it because I believe the ACC is horrible, and I'd love to see NIU drive the final nail in their coffin for being taken seriously in football.

[ghost]

You have to watch this game for proof that the ACC is horrible?  It's only a matter of a couple of cards and the ACC will crumble like the Big East.  I look for UNC and someone else to bolt for the Big Ten or SEC in the next year or so, thereby sealing the conference's doom.  It's also likely that Clemson and FSU will hit the Big 12, regardless of what they are saying to the media.

[Paelos]

It's the final domino, in my mind. If they get embarrassed in this bowl season, with all the shifts going on, I'd expect the ACC to start falling apart.

[ghost]

Yeah, I think the strength of Texas and Oklahoma pull the Big 12 through.  The ACC has a few gems left for the football world to steal.  UNC is the crown jewel, even though their football stinks.  Virginia is also a great pickup for a lot of reasons.  NC State and Va Tech are going to very strong gets for their fan bases.  Duke-  maybe.  The SEC and Big Ten have four slots left.  The Big 12 has quite a few and the PAC is not an option for most of these schools, other than Oklahoma and Texas, so it only makes sense that the ACC will go the way of the Big East.  It's just a matter of which schools go where. 

It's funny to me that adding Louisville to your conference is the death knell.    

[Paelos]

Oh Big East. 

Cincy? Really? You're letting Duke hang 15-0 on you in the first quarter? A 6-6 team that went 3-5 in the ACC?

Guess that second in the Big East is a really big deal for a dead conference.

Sweet!  Case McCoy and Jordan Hicks getting all raperific down on the riverwalk a couple of nights before the big game.

Line moved two points for that. I would have thought more. Oh well, I'm taking the Beavers.

And he's a moron. If that's true I hope he gets arrested.

Only if it is legimate.   

[Paelos]

Bowl game in NY. Outdoors.  

EDIT: Also I love any bowl game with Oregon State in it. So many beaver jokes.

EDITx2: This Oregon State coach is killing his team by leaving a QB out there that's turned it over 3 times in 3 quarters.

[Abagadro]

Nice play calling down the stretch Les.

Wow. Choke central by lsu. Time management yet again. Good lord.

Solid chance the sec drops the ball in two games today

[ghost]

You got knocked the fuck out. 

[ghost]

This Florida State game is boring as fuck.
